Monthly BeanBay GREEN Bean Sale - THURSDAY 11th August 2011

Re: Monthly BeanBay GREEN Bean Sale - THURSDAY 11th August 2011

well I just emptied a bag a couple of weeks ago and will probably finish off another this week, so im not changing the amount of bags, just how many beans are in them LOL

Did you know you can get 4 or 5kg in one of our bags?
...ergo you "could" double the bean stash.
(Im in trouble now)
;D

you could potentially offer a roasting surcharge

Hmmm... interesting idea. Not sure how workable it would be though but Ill kick it around.

I suppose the gotcha would be youd have to buy 2.5kg of roast.

Yes, which will only yeild 2kg of roasted. I can 100s of hours in email explaining that one to people that bought green beans or then asked why cant they buy 250g at a time.

...maybe we just rotate the brown offerings each month instead. Then I only have to answer the emails asking "where did xxxxx go?".

Ah well, just got my quad basket (thanks Tango, and of course Javaphile) and it doesnt fit my Gaggia classic portafilter despite me thinking it did based on the description. This might be due to my gaggia being an older (1993) model. No biggie as it DOES fit the Azkoyen standard 58mm p/f and, obviously, the Azkoyen naked p/f.

I guess that gives me another incentive to move the Azkoyen refurb further up the project list.

Would have been nice with a 6am start tomorrow to try out the new toy. At least I have some Ceja De Selva from a previous Beanbay just about at its peak 8 days post roast.

Andy, I feel I need to congratulate you on your packing abilities as well.  3 bags into an eParcel satchel with a packet of instant chai squeezed into the middle.  Oh, and prompt service as always

Did you know you can get 4 or 5kg in one of our bags?

Might need to try that :P  Most Ive gone was ~3.5kg, but I concede there was enough room to at least hit the 4kg mark.

If you want to offer occasional roasts, is there a way to mark it in the shopping cart thingy as "Limited Availability" or "One Off" so people understand its a one-off and wont be there next month?

Have been meaning to post that the quad basket (thanks to those involved in sourcing them) also fits the early gaggia baby p/f.

cheers,
